Check out top Country artist Lauren O’Brien’s latest release “Drinking Over Me” — the heart-rending final single from her forthcoming debut six-track EP — In Another Lifetime. Featured in Holler’s “Best New Country Songs” roundup this week, the song is a blend of poignant piano, twangy guitar, and rhythmic percussion, all harmonized with Lauren’s distinctively raw vocals, enriching the essence of this heartfelt country ballad.
Recorded between Nashville and Brooklyn, In Another Lifetime, slated for release on Friday, May 31, seamlessly intertwines pop and country influences, driven by her belief in fate’s guiding hand. Throughout her music, storytelling remains paramount, reflecting Lauren’s unwavering commitment to creative expression.
“When I’m songwriting, I look for areas in my life that are also shared experiences among others,” Lauren explains. “This was the case with ‘Drinking Over Me.’ Collaborating with my co-writers, each with their own experiences, allowed us to capture the universal struggle within relationships, friendships, and families around alcohol.”
On her forthcoming EP, Lauren is seizing the reins of her narrative, drawing inspiration from pivotal moments in her life that have already influenced her released singles: “Weak Days,” “Match,” and “Another Shot.” “Weak Days,” the lead single, resonated swiftly with listeners, garnering nearly half a million streams and views across various platforms. The song portrays a familiar tale, as Lauren delves into the theme of “loving a partner through difficult times.” Hinging on relatable narratives and creative lyrical vehicles, Lauren shares her personal journey while acknowledging that her listeners often find resonance in her experiences.
